Five Years

  Yesterday was our five year anniversary.  We actually celebrated last week though while my parents were still around by going down to Portland where we stayed at the Heathman Hotel.  While there we went to the temple, ate lots of good food, and went shopping tax free.  We've always wanted to stay at the Heathman partly because it is reputedly haunted; we both love a good ghost story.  Mostly though because it's a cool old hotel in downtown with doormen dressed as Beef eaters. We ate at a Peruvian restaurant called Andina and became fans of ceviche.   It was an excellent time.  In case you're wondering we stayed in the reportedly most haunted room,703, and the ghost must have been on vacation because we slept like babies.

The night we went to the temple it was snowing.  It was quite beautiful.

Daryl arranged for flowers to be waiting for me in the room.

On the beside table they left us a variety of teas as well as earplugs and an eye mask for our sleeping comfort.
